HLT-313v Week 2 Topic 2 Discussion 1 – Assignment – Provision and Reimbursement of Health Care Services
A formal risk management plan demonstrates a health care organization’s approach as well as support for risk management and, ultimately, patient safety. Access information from your own employer/organization or using the Internet to find an allied health care organization located in your city or region, and identify the goals and objectives, scope, and functions of an existing risk management plan. How does the plan “measure up” in terms of meeting ethical and legal responsibilities to stakeholders? How might you improve it? Explain.
